TRAILER PARK BOYS

SEASON 7 - Episode 10 - A Shit River Runs Through It

2008-07-26T06:05:00.000-07:00

The boys have done it – the Swayzie Express is loaded with weed and is on its way across the river to Sebastian Bach. Once it arrives in the U.S., Sebastian will load it with boxes of American cigarettes and send it back to Canada. Ricky and Julian explain that they have a lot riding on this deal – so they’re thrilled when the train makes it back intact, loaded with smokes!

The boys load the cartons of cigarettes into Shitty Bill’s truck and he heads back to the park, but not before Lahey and Randy come out of hiding and shoot at the vehicle. Shitty Bill makes it out of the forest unscathed, but when the boys try to escape, the Shitmobile won’t start.

Conky explains to the boys that Jacob betrayed them – he put sugar in the Shitmobile’s gas tank and he’s wearing a wire. Julian is disappointed in Jacob.

Lahey threatens the boys – he wants the Swayzie Express and won’t take no for an answer. The boys are trapped – their car won’t start and the forest rangers are approaching fast. The boys leave and find a small boat nearby but don’t get very far: the boat ends up floating in the middle of the river. Bubbles is losing his mind and finally realizes that he needs to kill Conky – so he drowns the puppet.

With the forest rangers and Randy and Lahey waiting for them on the Canadian side of the river, the boys are surrounded when FBI agents show up on the American side of the waterway. Since neither the Canadian nor the American authorities have jurisdiction over the boys in their current location, Ricky can choose who busts them.

Ricky negotiates with the two sides and ends up with a good deal. The Alien Trevors will take the blame and go to jail for stealing the Swayzie Express, and Ricky will go to jail in the U.S. for endangering beavers in a protected wildlife sanctuary – this way, he’ll get to visit Ray, who’s still serving time for soliciting prostitution.

Several weeks later, everything has worked out as planned. Julian is a rich man, proud to have made something of himself. Ricky enjoyed himself in the luxurious American jail and even got his Grade 11. Bubbles went to a therapist and his life is now back on track. Lahey resigned from the force and is comfortable with the idea that he was born to be a drunk trailer park supervisor. Lucy cherishes her newborn son, and Sarah finds love… with Jacob Collins.

For the first time, all is calm in Sunnyvale Trailer Park.

SEASON 7 - Episode 9 - Going Off the Rails on the Swayzie Train

2008-07-26T05:24:00.000-07:00

Ricky, Julian and Bubbles need to make sure that Randy and Lahey won’t interfere with their plans to send dope to Sebastian Bach. When Randy and Lahey pass out on the roof of a trailer, the boys use a giant net to trap them.

Jacob and the Alien Trevors want to travel into the forest with the boys and help prepare the train. Julian refuses, he says the job’s too dangerous. Ricky warns Julian that he’s getting too close to Jacob, and reminds him that the guys are just jail cover – they’re to be framed if anything goes wrong. Ricky tells Jacob he can come.

Phil helps Randy and Lahey escape and Lahey puts out an all-points bulletin for the boys’ vehicle. When a cop spots the boys and pulls them over, Lahey orders him to arrest Jacob, but to let the others go free. Bubbles is petrified when they get pulled over… and turns to his old friend Conky. Bubbles has managed to glue pieces of Conky back together – no small feat since Julian shot Conky’s head off in Season 5.

The boys meet Sebastian Bach at a gas station near the U.S. border. He doesn’t have enough cash for the boys, but he offers to trade American cigarettes for Ricky’s dope. Julian realizes that it’s a good investment since the boys can make more money from selling the cigarettes, and agrees to the deal.

Meanwhile, Lahey is questioning Jacob about the Swayzie Express – he wants to know where the boys are hiding it. Threatening to arrest Jacob’s dad, Phil, for selling stolen meat, Lahey manages to get Jacob to agree to wear a wire to eavesdrop on the boys and obtain incriminating evidence.

Back in the forest, Bubbles tests the train, and it works! It’s a close call when two forest rangers find the boys’ camp and threaten to arrest them for littering in a protected wildlife sanctuary, but Conky reminds the forest ranger (country music singer George Canyon in a guest starring role) that he’s an American, and has no jurisdiction while the boys are on Canadian soil.

Randy and Lahey drop Jacob off in the forest and hide nearby. Julian trusts Jacob and believes him when he says that he hitchhiked back to the boys’ camp.

The stress of the situation is making Bubbles more and more agitated. That night, while the boys are sleeping, Conky calls the FBI and the DEA.

SEASON 7 - Episode 8 - Let the Liquor do the Thinking

2008-07-26T04:47:00.000-07:00

Bubbles gets a letter from Ray who’s still in jail in the U.S. Enclosed with the letter, Ray included a front page story from the Bangor Daily News – a janitor witnessed the theft of the Swayzie Express and the sketch artist’s drawing of the thief looks exactly like Bubbles. Authorities are offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the return of the model train.

Bubbles panics and decides he needs a disguise in order to fool authorities, so Lucy helps him buy clothing and a wig from J-Roc’s store. Clad in a red leather jacket and curly brown wig, Bubbles takes on a new name: The Scorpion.

Meanwhile, Lucy decides that she’s in love with Randy and since she’s having his baby, she might as well propose. When Randy tells Lahey he’s engaged, Lahey goes off the deep end. He picks up Randy and threatens to drive off a cliff unless Randy agrees to break up with Lucy. But Lucy won’t let Randy break up with her – and orders him to stay away from Lahey.

When Lahey witnesses Lucy, Sarah, J-Roc and Tyrone stealing suitcases from the airport, he calls in police reinforcements to take down the luggage bandits. He sends all four thieves to jail – with Lucy out of his way, Lahey is free to pursue Randy.

Later, in a bathroom at the airport, Randy and Lahey see a Wanted poster with the sketch of Bubbles. They decide to steal the train from Bubbles and collect the reward themselves.

Ricky, Julian and Bubbles get a phone call from Sebastian Bach – he’s nervous and wants to shut down their dope operation because there’s a huge forest fire spreading through the woods near the area where the boys have laid the model train tracks. Julian is confident that everything will work out, but the deal needs to go down immediately.

Randy and Lahey confront the boys at gunpoint. Lahey’s drunk again and threatens the boys: either they give him the train and he’ll collect the reward, or he’ll burn Ricky’s trailer down and call the FBI. Either way, he still gets the reward for leading the authorities to the thieves.

Bubbles is going crazy from all the stress and resurrects an old friend to help him deal with his anxiety – his ventriloquist puppet Conky.

SEASON 7 - Episode 7 - Jump the Cheeseburger

2008-07-26T03:44:00.000-07:00

Phil Collins always wanted to run his own business and now his dream has come true – today is the Grand Opening of The Dirty Burger, the cheeseburger restaurant he operates out of a camper trailer with Randy.

Randy’s got a great stunt idea to draw crowds on their opening day – while riding his bike, he’s going to jump over a giant stuffed cheeseburger. Practicing for his jump, he falls on the pavement a few times and Lucy helps him up. Lucy’s pregnant with Randy’s child and is proud that Randy’s new business will help provide for her and the baby.

Jacob is back at home and in bad shape after his adventures in the woods so Sarah is taking care of him. Phil and Thomas are thrilled he’s home, but all Jacob cares about is Julian. Phil and Tom warn Jacob that his obsession with Julian is starting to look very strange.

Barb gets another note from her secret admirer asking her to meet him at the White Rose Inn, where he’ll reveal his identity. Barb is giddy – plus, Lahey’s not paying enough attention to her and won’t even take her to the bar to line-dance. Barb tells Jim he’s not half as much fun since he stopped drinking. Barb is certain that her admirer is Julian, but when she confronts him and he denies it, she’s confused. She just wants someone who’s willing to take her away from the park and all its problems.

Sam Losco arrives at the park and he’s angry – he wants to collect the $75 that Phil owes him. Phil says he doesn’t have the money yet – it’s only their first day in the restaurant business – but Sam won’t take no for an answer. He takes Phil hostage in The Dirty Burger trailer. When Jim arrives to take control of the situation, all hell breaks loose and Sam fires shots. Barb drives up to find out what all the commotion is about, and Sam emerges from the trailer at the sight of her. He admits that he is Barb’s secret admirer and professes his love to her. Barb leaves the park with Sam; Jim doesn’t try to stop her.

Lahey begs Randy not to jump the cheeseburger – if he got hurt, the stress might drive him to drink again. But Randy’s determined not to fail. However, at the last minute he panics and refuses to jump unless he’s high. Ricky saves the day and lets Randy take a hit from his bong. Randy revs up… and doesn’t make it. He’s taken away in an ambulance, as Lahey takes a very long swig of liquor.

SEASON 7 - Episode 6 - We Can't Call People Without Wings Angels... So We Call Them Friends

2008-07-26T02:55:00.000-07:00

While Jacob’s relieving himself at the side of the road, the Monte Carlo rolls into a river with his two friends inside.

Back at the trailer park, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles find out that a lumberjack saw Jacob drive into the woods a few days earlier. Hoping he and his two sidekicks are still alive, Julian and the boys drive out to find them.

Hot on their trail, the boys find a bag of shreddies in the middle of a dirt road in the forest and realize that it’s the cereal Bubbles gave Jacob before he left on the trip. Nearby, Julian discovers his Monte Carlo in the river. When Bubbles and Ricky jump in, they’re relieved that the car is empty and the train tracks are gone. Jacob and his friends must have survived and started to lay the model train track through the forest.

Julian is eager to find his protégé, so the boys continue their search and discover clues that lead them closer and closer to Jacob: clothes on a makeshift clothesline in the woods, a campfire pit that’s still warm and a note from Jacob pinned to a tree. In the note, he talks about the angry monsters following him and the boys worry that Jacob’s losing his mind.

Through a series of flashbacks, we discover that for the past five days Jacob and his crew have been steadily building the model train track at night, under the cover of darkness. Caught in a rainstorm one night, they eat their remaining shreddies and licorice, and are surviving only thanks to Ricky’s dope. They had a close call and were almost caught by two forest rangers, but managed to hide from the authorities and continue their mission.

The boys finally arrive at the place in the forest where Jacob was supposed to build a mini train bridge across the river to cross into the U.S. They don’t find a bridge – but they do find a tunnel! Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are thrilled – it looks like Jacob didn’t let them down after all.

Ricky’s hungry so the boys decide to light a campfire and cook themselves some dinner, but Julian feels guilty that he still hasn’t been able to find Jacob. After dinner, while Bubbles takes a piss, he thinks he sees three bears in the forest. Ricky fires warning shots to scare the animals but soon realizes that there are no bears – it’s Jacob and his two friends who smelled the boys’ barbecue and came to see if they could steal some food. Relieved, Julian packs everyone up and takes them back to the park.

SEASON 7 - Episode 5 - The Mustard Tiger

2008-07-25T12:56:00.000-07:00

Julian knows the boys can make money by selling dope to Sebastian Bach. To smuggle the drugs into the United States, Julian has an idea: the boys will build a model train track through the forest across the border and hide weed in the freight cars of the train. The amount of track they’ll need to lay will be a world record.

The boys need Lahey’s help – they need maps, land papers and detailed information about how many forest rangers patrol the area where they’ll lay the tracks. Lahey is hesitant to help because he’s finally in a position where he could be promoted to Staff Sergeant, and he doesn’t want anything to mess it up. But the boys remind Lahey that he signed a peace treaty with them and he agrees to help.

Ricky, Julian and Bubbles realize they need to send a few scouts to Maine to scope out the route for the tracks. And they need someone to frame if anything goes wrong.

Meanwhile, Phil Collins catches his son, Jacob, lifting weights. Ricky, Julian and Bubbles find Jacob at school dressed like Julian and holding a mustard glass – clearly, Julian has become Jacob’s idol. The boys realize that Jacob and his two friends are so eager to please them, they’re perfect scapegoats. Julian lends his Montecarlo to Jacob for the trip to Maine – if anything goes wrong, Jacob should blame his two sidekicks. The boys tell Jacob he has three days to complete their mission.

Five days later, there’s no word from the boys. Phil Collins tries to keep himself calm by working at The Dirty Burger, a restaurant he will be opening with Randy, but he’s worried about his son. Thomas Collins, Phil’s other son, shows up at the park and catches Ricky, Julian and Bubbles ripping down the Missing Person posters that Phil has put up to try to find Jacob. Thomas thinks the boys are hiding something about Jacob’s whereabouts, but has no proof.

Julian talks to Lahey and convinces him to block the missing persons report that Phil is about to file. Lahey agrees, but if Julian doesn’t find the boys soon, Lahey will have to get involved officially. Julian is sure to be investigated if anyone figures out that Jacob was last seen in his Montecarlo. Julian has a nasty feeling that something terrible has happened.

SEASON 7 - Episode 4 - Friends of the Road

2008-07-25T12:17:00.000-07:00

Bubbles and Ray leave the park in Ray’s rig en route to Bangor, Maine. Ray got his driver’s license back and has a lucrative plan to sell scrap metal – he and Bubbles will each make a few thousand dollars. On the way, Ray promises to take Bubbles to a model train convention featuring the Swayzie Express, the personal train of Patrick Swayzie, and hosted by Sebastian Bach, former lead signer of Skid Row. Bubbles is beside himself with excitement.

But Ray’s really embracing the way of the road, and picks up “ladies of the evening” as travel companions. Bubbles warns Ray that picking up hookers can only mean trouble, but Ray isn’t worried.

When Bubbles, Ray and the girls stop at the roadside for hamburger sandwiches, Ray gets arrested for soliciting prostitution. The rig is seized and Ray is busted, and poor Bubbles is left by the side of the road in a complete panic. He calls Ricky and Julian and begs them to come and get him. Bubbles buys some beer to calm his nerves and waits for seven hours in a phone booth while the boys travel to Maine to pick him up.

Before they cross the U.S. border, Julian makes Ricky remove all the dope that’s hidden in the car so they don’t get caught with drugs by American authorities. By the time the boys reach him, Bubbles is in shock. They decide to continue on to the train convention hoping that seeing the Swayzie Express will make Bubbles feel better.

The boys set up camp in the convention centre parking lot. Ricky needs dope – bad – and asks everyone at the convention whether they’ll sell him weed. Sebastian Bach arrives and hits the stage – he’s the Competitive Model Train World Champion. Bach and Ricky make a deal to meet in the parking lot that evening so Ricky can score some dope.

Later, while waiting for Bach to show up, Ricky is desperately trying to find dope in the nooks and crannies of his car by taking apart the dashboard. He finds enough to roll a joint, and when Bach shows up, he offers Ricky some weed he bought from guys at the local mall. The mall weed is clearly inferior to Ricky’s dope, and Bach wants to buy as much of Ricky’s stash as he can get.

Meanwhile, Bubbles still isn’t acting like himself. While the boys aren’t looking, he sneaks back into the convention centre late at night and steals the Swayzie Express.

SEASON 7 - Episode 3 - Three Good Men Are Dead

2008-07-25T11:39:00.000-07:00

Officers Ted Johnson and George Green really have it in for Mr. Lahey. Angry that he didn’t file paperwork or process search warrants like they’d asked him to do, they sneak into his trailer and beat him up. When Randy and Phil show up to rescue Lahey, the cops attack them too – using phone books to make sure they don’t leave bruises. Johnson and Green light a barbecue in the trailer and make it look like the men got drunk and passed out.

Bubbles smells the smoke and finds Lahey, Randy and Phil in Lahey’s trailer. He assumes that the guys had a liquor and cheeseburger party which went horribly wrong. Bubbles realizes the gas from the barbecue could blow up the trailer and runs to get Ricky and Julian to help.

Ricky, Julian and Bubbles realize the guys have inhaled carbon monoxide and are going to need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but they don’t want to be seen locking lips with them in full view of the park, so they load them into wheelbarrows and take them to Ricky’s trailer.

Lahey wakes up and explains what happened – he’s furious that members of his own police force attacked him and tried to make it look like an accident. Lahey’s got a plan for revenge – but unfortunately the plan involves Ray getting beat up.

In exchange for being attacked, Lahey offers Ray free liquor. It’s not quite enough, so Bubbles negotiates on Ray’s behalf – he gets Lahey to agree to eliminate the drinking and driving charges on Ray’s record so that he can get his license to drive a rig again.

Lucy agrees to help with the plan: she calls Ted and George, baiting them to return to the park by telling them Ray’s drunk and is saying that he witnessed an attack on Lahey, Randy and Phil. When the cops arrive, Ray manipulates them into beating him up with baseball bats. Bubbles, who is hiding nearby, gets this “attack” on tape and Lahey arrests the cops for police brutality.

Officers Green and Johnson are sentenced to 5 years in prison. Meanwhile, Bubbles works out a deal to get Ray a rig to haul scrap metal. Ray can’t wait to get back on the road.

SEASON 7 - Episode 2 - I Banged Lucy and Knocked Her Up... No Big Deal...

2008-07-25T10:58:00.000-07:00

J-Roc and Tyrone have decided to be co-daddies – each of their girlfriends had a baby last season. J-Roc has set up a new home – “Scrilla Villa” – to take care of his expanding family. He’s also found himself a new moneymaking venture and explains that the airport offers unique business opportunities. J-Roc, Tyrone and Lucy steal luggage from the baggage carousel at the airport and then re-sell the stolen goods in his store. Lucy got involved because the job pays well and she needs the cash – she’s pregnant and knows she can’t rely on Ricky to provide for the baby.

Meanwhile, Ricky’s confused. Lucy is six months pregnant but she and Ricky haven’t banged in seven months. Bubbles helps Ricky understand that he can’t be the father of Lucy’s child and that she must’ve cheated on him.

Ricky sees Lucy, J-Roc and Tyrone leave for the airport, so he jumps to the conclusion that one of them got her pregnant. He follows them to the airport, nearly blowing their cover by loudly calling them “luggage bandits.” Julian takes control of the situation – he has also started working in J-Roc’s luggage ring to make extra cash.

Later, Ricky confronts Lucy about the unborn baby. She admits that it’s Randy’s – she was lonely and banged Randy the second weekend Ricky and Ray spent at the drunk tank.

Bubbles decides that he needs a hobby and starts collecting model trains. He finds out that there’s an international model train convention in Bangor, Maine that’s hosted by Sebastian Bach, former lead singer of the band Skid Row. Bubbles is excited and wants to check it out.

Lahey’s still being mistreated by cops on the force – Officers Green and Johnson make him work an extra shift to do their paperwork while they head over to be bouncers at Chippendales.

Randy is angry because Barb and Jim Lahey are excluding him from their plans. Jim finally asks Randy to move on – and move out of their trailer – and Barb fires him as supervisor.

SEASON 7 - Episode 1 - I F uckin' Miss Cory & Trevor

2008-07-25T10:13:00.000-07:00

Ricky has come up with a surefire way to make a decent living this season: he, Julian and Bubbles steal meat from various grocery stores and sell it in the liquor store parking lot. As Bubbles waits in the getaway car, Ricky and Julian go into the store and hide packages of meat in hollowed-out cardboard boxes wrapped like birthday presents. But Bubbles accidentally almost blows their cover and Ricky blames everything on the fact that Cory and Trevor aren’t around to do the boys’ dirty work – they’ve disappeared.

When Bubbles’ third grade teacher, Mrs. Anderson, catches the guys getting baked in the parking lot, she tells them it’s never too late to change their path in life. Bubbles feels guilty.

Ricky’s got a problem: he can’t sell his dope. He’s got plenty of high-quality weed, and he knows it’s worth $12/gram, but no one’s buying – especially now that the dicks at the mall are undercutting him at $6/gram. Of course, it’s not as good – but it’s so cheap, no one cares. Even Lahey, who has given up liquor for dope, tells Ricky he’s got to drop his price. On top of all this, animals – everything from raccoons and frogs to insects and crows – are attacking his weed. Ricky has made friends with one of the crows (he’s named her Cheryl) and feeds her peanut butter sandwiches so she stops eating his plants. Ricky’s under a lot of pressure to make a good living, because Lucy’s pregnant.

Ray’s got his own plan to make cash: he’s ripping the plumbing out of his walls so he can sell the scrap metal for liquor money. Bubbles offers to help Ray with his scrap metal business because he figures he won’t be as stressed out if he plans his own jobs – without Ricky and Julian.

Lahey’s been reinstated to the police force but he’s not having a good time. The cops – especially Officers George Green and Ted Johnson – are treating him badly. Instead of involving him in their investigation of a local luggage-stealing ring, they make him buy coffee and donuts for everyone on the force every morning.

Meanwhile, Sara explains that Cory and Trevor are in a mental institution because they were on the verge of a nervous breakdown thanks to the fact that Ricky was treating them so badly.

Julian decides he needs to get a real job. He can’t survive off of the $18/day he’s making through meat sales and doesn’t want to work with Ricky anymore. He’s falling behind on his trailer payments and will lose his home if he doesn’t make some quick cash. So Julian takes on a job as a pizza delivery guy.

Ricky plans a meat heist without Julian. Bubbles is going to be the man on the inside – he’ll sneak into the store’s meat freezer and when the store closes, he’ll open the door for Ricky and they’ll be able to steal all the meat they want. When Ricky miscalculates how late the store is open and Bubbles is in the freezer for hours, he calls Julian for help.

Nearly freezing to death is the last straw for Bubbles. He’s not going to work with Ricky and Julian any more – he’s going to help Ray with his scrap metal business. Ricky’s in a bind and Julian convinces him to lower his dope prices to $10/gram.

SEASON 6 - Episode 6 - Gimme My F ucking Money or Randy's Dead

2008-07-23T12:33:00.000-07:00

The boys rush to Ray’s rescue when they find out that he’s about to be buried alive in trash at the dump. Ricky hates seeing his father like this and is determined to find a way to get him to move back to the park.

Lahey reveals that he’s nervous about his chance to be reinstated as a police officer. He knows that he’s going to need a character witness to speak on his behalf at the hearing, so he tries to make a deal with Randy. In exchange for testifying on Lahey’s behalf, Randy would get the surveillance footage that Lahey took of the boys breaking the law – and Randy could bust the boys once and for all. But Randy refuses. Lahey decides to approach the only person with a conscience in the park – Bubbles.

Bubbles agrees to give Lahey a good character reference if Lahey promises to stop bothering the boys. Lahey signs a legal agreement – drawn up by Bubbles – that says he’ll stop harassing the boys, he’ll allow Ray to come back to the park as Assistant Trailer Park Supervisor, and he’ll let the boys grow as much dope as they want.

At the hearing, Bubbles confirms to the Police Chief that Mr. Lahey is indeed a “good man.” The Chief reviews the video footage, sees that the boys caused Lahey to lose his license in the first place, and agrees that an injustice has been committed. He reinstates Jim Lahey as an officer of the law.

Meanwhile, Randy’s on a power trip and breaks into Lahey’s trailer to steal the surveillance tapes. Cory and Trevor are working on a professional dope trailer for Ricky, as a surprise from Julian. Ricky is impressed – the ventilation and lighting are perfect – and he tells Cory and Trevor that he’s proud of them. The boys are dumbstruck, and, of course, thrilled. Bubbles arrives and tells everyone about the peace agreement. The boys get stoned to celebrate.

But Randy shows up with the cops and tries to get the boys arrested – all of their crimes have been caught on tape. Lahey arrives – in uniform – and honours the peace agreement, telling Randy that the tapes are inadmissible as evidence because they’re stolen property. Lahey prevents the boys from being arrested and convinces Randy to sign the peace agreement.

But the story doesn’t end here – Sam arrives with a gun and holds Randy hostage. He blames Randy for losing his job because of all the prank calls that were made earlier, when Randy was promoted to Associate Trailer Park Supervisor. Randy owes Sam $1,800. Lahey can’t handle seeing Randy in danger, and starts drinking again. He begs Ricky to help – Ricky’s the only one with a mind that’s screwed up enough to figure out how to rectify the situation. Ricky agrees, mainly because he’s the one who placed the prank calls. Ricky gets Sam to release Ricky by giving him $214 and a pound of weed to sell. Sam is satisfied.

And so ends another season in Sunnyvale Trailer Park . Ray is back in the park with a job and a company car. Barb asks Randy to move in with her and Mr. Lahey. Ricky encourages Lahey to kick his drinking habit by smoking dope instead. Bubbles is doing great, and says that Julian has the biggest heart in the park – he bought all the trailers of the folks who were evicted, renovated them, and sold them back at a reduced rate. Ricky spends his time growing dope and hanging out with Lucy and Trinity. Everyone is happy.

And… no one goes to jail.

SEASON 6 - Episode 5 - Halloween 1977

2008-07-23T11:39:00.000-07:00

The police chief is giving Officer Ted Johnson a hard time for spending too much time in the park with Randy, and for spending too much money on cheeseburgers. Ted needs to patrol areas outside of Sunnyvale and can’t keep an eye on the boys anymore, so he asks Randy to closely surveil Ricky and Julian. Ted is afraid that he’ll lose his job if someone doesn’t take down Ricky and Julian soon.

Randy’s on a bit of a power trip and, as Associate Trailer Park Supervisor, has been evicting people out of Sunnyvale left and right for not paying their lot fees. When J-Roc takes his two baby mamas shopping at “Ricky’s Used Shit,” he tells Ricky that he’s received a notice about being evicted. Sure enough, Randy arrives to enforce the notice and throws J-Roc and his baby mamas out of the park. Ricky wonders why Randy hasn’t tried to force him to leave yet, and figures something’s up.

After evicting an elderly couple who has been living in the park for years, Randy sells their newly vacant trailer to Julian. Randy breaks the window of the trailer because he suspects that Julian will replace it with a window he steals from the nearby hardware store, and Randy hopes to catch him in the act. Instead, Julian sees Randy watching him and knows he’s been set up – he tells Randy that’s entrapment.

Randy decides he needs Sarah’s advice and takes her out for a cheeseburger. Sarah is indignant – and appalled – when Randy tries to kiss her. She tells Randy that she doesn’t have feelings for him.

Meanwhile, Lahey continues to videotape Ricky and Trevor as they steal property they’ve brought down to the roadside from people’s lawns as though it’s been left for garbage. He also sets up a stakeout in order to catch Julian stealing building materials from the hardware store, but Julian catches Randy watching him and Lahey’s surveillance is compromised.

Later, Mr. Lahey finds Super 8 video footage was taken on Halloween 1977 of three disguised kids – one dressed as a robot (young Bubbles) and two dressed as large hairy animals (young Ricky and Julian) – who pushed his squad car into a trailer, causing him to be kicked off the police force and become an alcoholic.

Lahey tells Officer Ted Johnson that he wants to be reinstated to the police force and that he has evidence to prove that he was wrongfully dismissed. Ted agrees to get Lahey a hearing so that he can appear before the police board.

SEASON 6 - Episode 4 - Where in the F uck is Oscar Goldman?

2008-07-23T10:46:00.000-07:00

Ricky reveals that his daughter, Trinity, is in danger of failing grade 6 because of an incomplete science project. Trinity raised a chick from the day the egg hatched and is supposed to present the now full-grown chicken (named Oscar Goldman) to her teacher. But Oscar has gone missing, and no one in Sunnyvale can find him.

Bubbles feels guilty – Ricky asked him to take care of Oscar Goldman but Oscar somehow escaped from the Kittyland Love Centre. Trevor knows a place where they can steal a chicken that looks just like Oscar and no one will know the difference. But when Ricky and Trevor try to steal Oscar’s twin from a nearby farm, Trevor gets beat up by the girl who owns the bird.

Since his plan to steal the twin chicken was unsuccessful, Ricky asks Ray for help in tracking down the real Oscar Goldman and agrees to give him free liquor for his services. Ray investigates the last place anyone saw Oscar – in Kittyland – and determines that the bird couldn’t have escaped himself… it must’ve been an inside job. Ray has a good sense of hearing from living in the dump (auditory prowess is key in protecting oneself from the rats, snakes and dump bees) and tracks the chicken to Lahey’s trailer. Lahey is labeling surveillance tapes when the boys barge in. Since Lahey won’t admit to kidnapping the bird, Ricky trashes his kitchen.

Feeling guilty at the mess Ricky has caused, Bubbles finally admits to having let Oscar escape – it turns out that Bubbles was mercilessly pecked by chickens when he was young and has been afraid of them ever since. Oscar wandered into Lahey’s trailer by accident.

Meanwhile, Lucy can’t find Ricky so Julian agrees to pose as Trinity’s father and meet her teacher in order to ask for an extension. The teacher stands firm and tells Julian that the project is late – there will be no extension. Trinity will fail grade 6.

But Ricky arrives with the chicken and convinces Trinity’s teacher that she worked hard to raise the bird, feeding and caring for Oscar for months. Trinity shouldn’t fail just because Ricky was irresponsible. The teacher relents and Trinity passes. Lucy is thrilled that for once, Ricky managed to save the day.

SEASON 6 - Episode 3 - High Definition Piss Jugs

2008-07-23T10:08:00.000-07:00

While watching TV, Cory and Trevor realize that they could gain valuable advertising by having their new “Convenients Store” profiled on a local news station, so they call Channel 10 to book an interview. Bubbles does the same in order to obtain publicity for the Kittyland Love Centre and reaches Steve Rogers, the on-air reporter. Steve agrees to do a live segment on Kittyland while he’s in the park shooting a profile on the convenience store.

Ricky’s been throwing all the junk he’s been collecting near Kittyland and Bubbles tries to get the area tidied up in preparation for his live interview. Ricky decides to open his own business next to Kittyland, called “Ricky’s Used Shit,” which he also wants profiled on Channel 10.

Meanwhile, Lahey, pretending to be drunk, hides a surveillance camera in an old beer cooler and videotapes Julian as he renovates his trailer – Lahey is convinced that Julian stole the building materials he’s using.

Lately, Barb has been finding herself oddly attracted to Randy. When Steve Rogers arrives at Sunnyvale, he enlists Randy’s help to ensure the high-definition shoot runs smoothly. Randy takes charge and confronts Lahey, making sure he won’t disrupt the live broadcast with his drunken behaviour by having him collect all of the piss jugs in the park and take them to the dump. When Lahey arrives at the dump, he can’t bring himself to dispose of the urine-filled containers because he realizes Ray’s living there. Lahey promises that he won’t tell anyone that Ray has made the dump his home.

While Cory and Trevor are being interviewed on live television, they admit to selling illegally pirated DVD movies and single cigarettes – which is against the law. Steve Rogers cuts the interview short and heads over to Kittyland to profile Bubbles. During the interview, a fight breaks out when Lahey (again, pretending to be drunk) angers Ricky by reneging on his promise to Ray and announces to the entire television viewing audience that Ray’s living in the dump. Bubbles tries in vain to salvage the broadcast as the scuffle continues behind him.

SEASON 6 - Episode 2 - The Cheeseburger Picnic

2008-07-23T09:12:00.000-07:00

Randy rides around on his bicycle posting flyers throughout Sunnyvale. As the newly appointed Associate Trailer Park Supervisor, he has decided to organize a cheeseburger picnic and everyone’s invited. But when Randy runs into Ricky and teases him about the fact that his dad is now living in the cab of his old rig at the dump, Ricky vows to mess with Randy at the picnic.

Since Randy kicked him out of their trailer, Lahey asks Barb whether he can live with her for a week. Lahey realizes that he has fallen off the wagon. He knows that in order to stay one step ahead of Ricky, Julian and Bubbles, he’s going to have to be alert – and sober. But Lahey reasons that the Boys only let their shit-guards down when he’s drunk, so he hatches a plan to stay sober, while pretending he’s intoxicated.

Bubbles visits Cory and Trevor’s convenience store and persuades them to visit Ricky and Julian. Ricky puts Trevor – and his really long arms – to work immediately. Trevor’s job is to collect objects from people’s lawns and haul them down to the curb. It’s not stealing, because the belongings are still on the person’s property. Then Ricky drives by and picks up the junk near the curb – which also isn’t stealing, because now it’s by the curb and has been left for trash. Ricky plans to open an outdoor store to sell the used goods.

At the cheeseburger picnic, Lucy gets high and flirts with Officers George Green and Ted Johnson. Randy takes charge and makes an announcement – he’s going to clean up the park and there will be zero tolerance for anyone who misbehaves. Lahey shows up, pretending to be drunk. Meanwhile, to mess with Randy, Ray and Ricky send all kinds of contractors to Sunnyvale (an electrician, a driveway paver, a plumber, a pizza delivery guy, a florist) and use Randy’s name on the orders.

Later, Ted Johnson asks Randy to wear a police shirt, and Ricky finds Lucy in a compromising position – involving handcuffs – with George Green.

SEASON 6 - Episode 1 - Way of the Road

2008-07-23T07:37:00.000-07:00

Ricky’s out of jail (again) and he’s happy. He’s back together with Lucy – well, living in his car on her front lawn, anyway, since he’s not allowed in her trailer – and working with his dad, Ray, picking up recyclables. Ray’s enjoying living in the cab of his old rig on an empty lot in the trailer park. He’s got everything he needs, and doesn’t pay lot fees. The only problem is that he’s back to his old truck driving ways – urinating in plastic containers instead of taking the time to find a bathroom, and littering the park with his piss jugs.

Meanwhile, Bubbles decides to open a legitimate business doing what he loves best – taking care of cats. The “Kittyland Love Centre” is an impressive feline dream vacation area and theme park complete with toy mice, tunnels, treats and of course, Bubbles as the cat-loving daycare owner. Randy has decided that he needs to break up with Mr. Lahey. He’s fed up – Lahey’s drinking far too much and can’t quit. With Lahey virtually incapacitated, Randy sees an opportunity for a promotion. He approaches Barb to find out whether she’ll let him run the park. Barb agrees to promote Randy to Associate Trailer Park Supervisor (his previous title was Assistant Trailer Park Supervisor) but only if he can successfully evict one of the residents from the park.

Randy enlists Officer Ted Johnson to help him evict a Sunnyvale resident at Barb’s request – but the person they need to evict is Ray. Randy says Ray’s a squatter, doesn’t pay lot fees and everyone’s getting tired of seeing his piss jugs everywhere, so he’s got to go. Ricky tries to fight Randy but he can’t get too close because Randy’s not wearing a shirt OR pants. No one wants to get near Randy in his underwear. Ray finally agrees to move and finds another free place to live – at the town dump. Julian finally makes his way back to Sunnyvale – he stayed in jail a few extra months because he was making good money behind bars selling his own brand of potato vodka. He made $8,600 and took an online course to learn how to invest in real estate. Now he’s got a plan to buy old trailers, fix them up, and sell them for a profit – and the best news is, it’s all legal.

Cory and Trevor have also decided to become their own bosses, and have opened a “Convenients” store in the park, selling products they know best – chips, pop and cigarettes. Sara thinks it’s a great idea – now the boys won’t be constantly looking for approval from Ricky and Julian.

When J-Roc and Tyrone pick up Julian from jail, Julian finds out that J-Roc’s expecting – thanks to two hot baby-mamas – and he’s going to need extra cash to support his new family.

SEASON 5 - Episode 10 - The Shit Blizzard

2008-07-17T23:18:00.000-07:00

J-Roc and Tyrone explain that Cyrus, Terry and Dennis are getting out of jail today thanks to Lahey, and they’ve got automatic weapons that they’re going to use to kill Ricky, Julian and Bubbles. J-Roc and T bust out of jail and head back to Sunnyvale to warn the boys. The boys realize that ironically, Lahey used the money that Julian gave him for the trailer to bail Cyrus out of jail. Now Bubbles knows why the park is being evacuated – Cyrus is going to start a gunfight and kill everyone!

The boys prepare for war.

Ricky tells Trinity to leave the park on her bike and ride to safety. Julian asks J-Roc and Tyrone to dig up a hockey bag from under his trailer, and gets Cory and Trevor to take the hash up on to Mrs. Petersen’s roof and be on the lookout for Cyrus. When Bubbles sees that the hockey bag is filled with guns, he begs the boys to stop – he doesn’t want them to use guns, he’s afraid everyone will die. Julian reluctantly agrees – no guns. When Cyrus, Terry and Dennis arrive, Julian surrenders and says he’ll give the hash back. But Cory and Trevor screw up again and start shooting. Cyrus thinks he’s been duped and a huge gunfight begins.

During the chaos of the shootout, Ricky has a heart attack. Julian asks Lahey for help – he’s the only person who knows CPR. Lahey agrees, but only after Julian calls him “Officer Lahey.” Ricky has been unconscious for a while and Lahey says there’s no hope that he’ll survive without brain damage. But he performs CPR anyway and manages to revive Ricky – it turns out that Ricky’s brain uses less oxygen than a normal person’s brain, so he’s good as new.

When the cops show up, they arrest Cyrus, but the Ricky and Julian are hauled downtown too. Bubbles is left alone in the park again, wondering how long the boys will be in jail this time.

SEASON 5 - Episode 9 - I Am The Liquor

2008-07-17T22:19:00.000-07:00

Ricky wakes up and realizes that his father and his daughter are both in jail, and he needs to bail them out right away. He asks Julian to borrow his car, but Julian says no because Ricky doesn’t have insurance. Ricky decides he’s going to jog to the courthouse to get Trinity released, but before he even gets out of the park, he runs into Bubbles driving on his go-kart. Bubbles has no choice: he lets Ricky commandeer the go-kart, but only because he wants to help get Trinity out of jail, too.

Meanwhile, Julian is taking down the tent. He plans to buy his trailer back from Mr. Lahey today. But Lahey’s on a drunk-a-thon, and that can only mean trouble. While Bubbles and Julian sneak into the impound lot to get the shitmobile back before the cops discover the 12 pounds of hash in the trunk, they leave Cory and Trevor to guard the driveway. But Randy manages to lure Cory and Trevor away from their post by telling them he has a new video game that they can play in Mr. Lahey’s trailer.

While Ricky pleads his case to the judge and gets Trinity out of jail, Julian tries to get his trailer back from Lahey by giving him a deposit of $7,500. Lahey wants the balance of $5,000 before the end of the day or he’ll sell the trailer to another buyer. Bubbles goes to visit Ray in jail, and Ray is freaking out. Cyrus beat up Ray and is threatening to kill the boys for stealing his hash. Julian’s not worried – those boys are going to be locked up for at least a couple of years.

When Ricky, Julian and Bubbles get back to the park, the shit hits the fan. Julian finds out that Lahey tricked Trevor into telling him all about the hash driveway and, as punishment for screwing up, suspends Cory and Trevor. And Ricky finds out that Julian took the money they were raising for Ray’s bail and gave it to Lahey for his trailer. Ricky is pissed – he’s done with Julian and refuses to help him dig up the driveway before Lahey calls the cops. Instead, Ricky hires Cory and Trevor to work for him – he wants all the hash for himself. When Ricky tries to take the hash from Julian, Bubbles has a meltdown and forces the boys to apologize to each other.

Lahey walks by and tells the boys he did “something much worse” than telling the cops about the driveway. Bubbles notices that all the park residents are bolting out of the park... what could be worse than calling the cops? Lahey bailing Cyrus, Terry and Dennis out of jail, that’s what.

SEASON 5 - Episode 8 - Dressed All Over & Zesty Mordant

2008-07-17T21:38:00.000-07:00

Ricky and Lucy are officially back together. Ricky’s busy fixing the brakes on the shitmobile so that he can give the car to Trinity as a gift when the boys sell all the hash in the driveway.

Julian and Bubbles are busy with Julian’s latest plan: they’re going to hide logs of hash in the handles of 200 shopping carts and ship them to vocational schools across the country. Everybody at school buys hash – it’s a huge untapped market. Bubbles is happy because his involvement in the crime is low-risk: all he has to do is haul the shopping carts from the mall, take the handles off, then weld them back on once the hash has been inserted. But when Bubbles arrives at the mall, Gary, the head mall cop, catches Bubbles and threatens him. Bubbles, feeling the pressure to obtain 200 carts and not disappoint Julian, crashes his go-kart when he gets back to the park.

Julian explains that the self-books he’s been reading have made him want to help others – most people really just need patience and encouragement. That’s why he has taken Cory and Trevor under his wing. So when Julian finds out that Gary threatened Bubbles, he goes to the mall and holds Gary at gunpoint, making him promise not to call the cops and to provide lots of shopping carts for Bubbles to retrieve. When Bubbles returns to the mall, he’s greeted by a gold mine of carts, which he takes back to the park.

Lucy and Sara want to go out for a few drinks, but Cory and Trevor are busy working for Julian, so they ask Ricky to babysit Trinity. Ricky gets Trin to help him do some bodywork on the shitmobile. Later, when Trinity asks to borrow the car, Ricky agrees, but tells her not to leave the park. But Trinity passes a police check-point in the park and gets caught – not only is she driving underage with no driver’s license or registration, but there are also 12 pounds of hash which the boys have hidden in the trunk of the car. The boys need to get the shitmobile out of the impound lot before the cops find the drugs.

SEASON 5 - Episode 7 - The Winds of Shit

2008-07-17T14:51:00.000-07:00

Lahey tells Randy about his plan to put Julian’s trailer up for sale for a huge sum of money, which will force Julian to try to raise the cash he needs by breaking the law. Then, when Julian and the boys commit their crime, Lahey will be there to apprehend them.

Ricky visits his dad in jail and Ray’s losing it. Ricky wants to sell a small piece of the hash driveway to get the money to bail his father out of prison, but Julian wants to devise a careful plan to ensure they don’t get caught. Julian’s plan is perfect: Ricky will pose as a student at Dartmouth Vocational School and will sell hash to his classmates. He won’t carry the hash with him because that would be too risky; instead, he’ll take orders for the hash during the day and get locker numbers and combinations from his customers. Each night, the boys will break into the school, take the money from the lockers and leave the hash.

The only problem is that when Ricky meets with a school counsellor to try to sign up for classes, he’s told that he can’t enroll because classes have already started. But Ricky manages to bribe his way into a job as a janitor by paying off the counsellor with hash. Lucy’s impressed that Ricky’s attending community college – he hasn’t told his friends and family that he’s the school custodian. But Randy and Lahey take photos of Ricky in his janitor uniform and show them to Lucy and Sara. Lucy’s not angry, though – she realizes that Ricky was just trying to make his family proud.

Meanwhile, Julian tells Ray that the boys can’t afford to bail him out of jail just yet – he wants to use the money he makes from the hash sales to buy his trailer back.

As Ricky and Julian are getting ready to break into the school, Lahey intimidates Bubbles, scaring him with a drunken speech about how “the winds of shit” are coming. When the boys break into the dark, shadowy halls of the school, Bubbles imagines he can hear the winds of shit. Ricky thinks he hears a ghost while taking a piss – really, it’s just the automatic flush of the urinal – and he shoots his gun at the “ghost.” With shots fired, the boys have no choice but to leave the school. They narrowly escape, but only because Ricky manages to talk them out of their predicament when the cops pull them over.

SEASON 5 - Episode 6 - Don't Cross the Shit Line

2008-07-17T13:46:00.000-07:00

Bubbles is starving and he asks Ray for food. Ray can’t find his liquor or his nine cans of ravioli – Bubbles and Ricky figure Julian must’ve taken the food and the booze. Ray tries to steal Julian’s glass of rum and coke from inside the tent while Julian’s sleeping, and Julian snaps. He says he needs to buy his trailer back because the boys are driving him nuts.

Meanwhile, Lahey shows Randy his collection of liquor bottles – he’s been stealing the boys’ liquor for weeks now. Lahey sends Randy to deliver an eviction notice to Ray. The burnt-out trailer shell has got to go. But when Randy visits Ray’s, he’s not there and the boys pick a fight – Randy threatens to take off his pants to fight Ricky, but Ricky rips Randy’s pants off himself. Randy tells Lahey about the fight, and Lahey tells him not to worry. Lahey will get his revenge: Ray crossed the shit line when he told everyone that Lahey was drinking again and the boys are going to pay.

J-Roc’s making a DVD called “J-Roc’s Greasy Trailer Park Girls Gone Wild.” No one really wants to act in the porno, but Bubbles agrees to do it for free food, and Ray agrees to do it for free liquor. During the shoot, Bubbles has to slap a girl’s butt and Ray gets completely wasted. J-Roc tries to get Ricky to participate by telling him that Lucy is the featured performer in the movie, but Ricky won’t do it. Ricky doesn’t want the mother of his child to be in a porn film, and decides that he needs to talk Lucy out of it. Lucy doesn’t listen, and all the stress is beginning to give Ricky chest pains.

Randy and Lahey catch the boys shooting the film, and they notice a stack of empty grocery bins near J-Roc’s trailer. It’s all the evidence Lahey needs to call the cops. When the cops show up, J-Roc and Tyrone are arrested for stealing groceries and the movie shoot is shut down. Randy and Lahey find the tape and it shows Ray walking around – proof that he’s not disabled. Lahey calls the worker’s compensation board to report Ray’s disability fraud. The police show up at the park again, and this time, they arrest Ray and haul him off to jail.

SEASON 5 - Episode 5 - Jim Lahey Is A F uckin' Drunk And He Always Will Be

2008-07-17T12:41:00.000-07:00

Randy is worried that Mr. Lahey is going to fall off the wagon because he keeps talking about liquor. Phil (whose gut rivals Randy’s) suggests that Randy buy hypnosis tapes for Lahey. Meanwhile, Ricky doesn’t think he should have to take the blame for what happened to Ray’s trailer, even though the fire was entirely his fault.

The boys are in bad shape: Ray’s sleeping in his rig and Julian’s sleeping in the tent erected over the hash driveway. Bubbles is sleeping in his shed, but when he wakes up, he’s starving. Ricky offers Bubbles some bread heels and bacon grease for breakfast, but Bubbles isn’t impressed – he’s still mad at Ricky for letting him take the blame for the fire.

Trinity asks her dad whether she can borrow the shitmobile to drive around the park, and Ricky agrees. Julian tells Ricky that he shouldn’t let her drive – she’s too young. Ricky disagrees. His dad let him drive when he was really young and he turned out fine. When Ray gets into the fight, Bubbles cracks. He’s sick of listening to the boys argue and he can’t take it anymore. Ricky and Julian promise to make it up to him, and tell him they’ll do whatever fun activity he wants for the day. Bubbles wants to go to the mall to buy a badminton set – he liked playing badminton in jail. The boys get to the mall and Bubbles is extremely excited when he finds a fully functional rocket kit for $99.99. Ricky tries to steal the rocket set, but the mall cops catch him. Ricky shoves a cheque into Trevor’s pocket, and tells the cops that Cory and Trevor were supposed to pay for the rocket. The cops find the cheque and Ricky’s off the hook – he’s proud of his fake cheque trick (making out a cheque and then cancelling it later.) The cops let the boys go, but keep Cory and Trevor around for questioning.

Back at the park, Randy gives the hypnosis tapes to Lahey, who insists that he hasn’t had a drink since he tried to kill Ricky. But Lahey listens to the tapes anyway, and says they’re working.

Bubbles is excited about his rocket and puts on the spacesuit that came in the kit. He gets the launch pad ready and launches the rocket. It’s an impressive launch, and the rocket eventually parachutes back to the park. Meanwhile, there’s a shitstorm brewing when Randy and Lahey run into Ray. Ray accuses Lahey of drinking vodka from his water bottle. Randy tastes the liquid and can’t believe it – Ray’s right. Lahey’s shitfaced and he’s been drunk since he got out of the mental hospital. Lahey wages war against Ray and takes off, driving his car over Bubbles’ rocket.

SEASON 5 - Episode 4 - You Got To Blame The Thing Up Here

2008-07-17T11:24:00.000-07:00

Ricky realizes that Bubbles thinks it’s his fault that Ray’s trailer burned down. Instead of telling him the truth, Ricky lets Bubbles take the blame, reasoning that once someone has taken the blame, it’s not available for anyone else to take any more.

J-Roc has had enough – he wants Ray to pay what he owes for the groceries. J-Roc and Ray argue, and Julian realizes there’s only one way to solve the problem. Julian tells Ricky to look after the hash driveway, and takes Cory and Trevor with him to steal gumball machines. The boys shoot the gumball machines and take the coins to play VLTs – they need to make some money to buy some new furniture for Ray. All they have to do is win once, then take the winning ticket, photocopy it, and cash in the copies at different stores. When Cory and Trevor work for Julian, they don’t mess things up as much.

Meanwhile, Bubbles is wracked with guilt. Ricky and Bubbles have an idea: they ask their friend Shitty Bill to tow Ray’s old rig sleeper over to his lot so that Ray has a place to sleep. Now that Ray has a roof over his head, Ricky and Bubbles decide to steal groceries for him, but J-Roc catches them and the boys argue. J-Roc is pissed that the boys are honing in on his territory; he’s been stealing groceries for months and selling them to residents of the park.

Julian, Cory and Trevor get back to the park with furniture, liquor, and an army tent for Ray to sleep in. Ray is pleased. The boys decide to set up the tent over the driveway to prevent it from getting wet when it rains. But when Julian sees the rig, he gets mad at Ricky for disobeying his instructions and leaving the hash driveway unprotected while he was away from the park.

Later that night, Sarah and Lucy arrive at Ray’s and Lucy admits that the fire happened because she and Ricky were so careless. Bubbles tells Ricky that he’ll never forgive him for making him think that he started the fire. Julian tells Ricky that he’d better start thinking about how to make things up to Bubbles.

SEASON 5 - Episode 3 - The F uckin' Way She Goes

2008-07-17T10:14:00.000-07:00

Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are busy heating up the hash, laying it down and rolling it out to make a “driveway” in front of Ray’s trailer. Ricky worries that they’ll get caught and Ray will get arrested. Julian explains that Ray’s not in danger – he only leases the lot, so he could always tell the cops that he didn’t know anything about the hash. Randy and Lahey notice that the boys have been using their paving equipment, but they don’t know why.

While the boys were in jail, Ray managed to pay off his trailer with money he made from gambling on VLTs. He’s proud that he finally owns his own home. But his luck hasn’t been great lately, and now Ray is close to hitting rock bottom: not only does he owe J-Roc money for groceries, but Julian is sure that Ray stole $60 from him while he was sleeping on Ray’s sofa. Ricky decides to cheer up his dad by barbecuing for his family – he hopes that this will give him a chance to get closer to Lucy. The only problem is that Ricky doesn’t have a barbecue, or any food. J-Roc agrees to give Ricky some groceries and to find him a BBQ in exchange for some of the equipment (turntables and a microphone) that Ricky stole from him earlier. J-Roc comes through – he scores a state-of-the-art barbecue for Ricky.

Julian agrees to take Ray, Bubbles, Cory and Trevor to a strip club so that Ricky can be alone with Lucy. But Ricky burns the food he’s cooking on the barbecue so he goes into Ray’s trailer to make french fries. Later, Ricky and Lucy take off in the shitmobile, and the cops catch them banging behind the muffler shop. Lucy doesn’t want to bang anymore, so Ricky takes her back to the park.

At the strip club, the boys lose track of Ray – and then find him in a room with all the VLTs. Ray gambled away the boys’ liquor money but he’s not too worried: “That’s the way she goes, boys,” he says. Julian takes everyone back to the park, only to be greeted by cop cars and fire trucks. Ray’s trailer burned down because of a grease fire. Only the shell of a trailer is left. Ricky knows that he left the stove on, but Bubbles thinks the fire was his fault because he was cooking fries earlier in the day. Ray is devastated, and Bubbles feels terrible.

SEASON 5 - Episode 2 - The Shit Puppets

2008-07-17T09:25:00.000-07:00

Julian’s got a plan. He takes the shitmobile and Ricky’s gun and takes off, without telling the boys where he’s headed. While Bubbles cleans the empty liquor bottles out of his shed, Julian shows up at Sarah’s and tells her he needs Cory and Trevor to work for him. Sarah says she’ll allow it as long as Julian treats them nicely – Sarah explains that she’s not Cory and Trevor’s girlfriend, she’s just looking out for their best interests.

Meanwhile, Ricky is pissed that J-Roc took the money he made harvesting weed from Cory and Trevor as a record-producing fee. Ricky takes J-Roc’s stereo equipment as payback, including turntables and microphones – he even takes the clothes dryer. Ricky then heads over to Lucy’s place to give Trinity the equipment as gifts. Ricky is turned on by Lucy, but he can’t figure out why (Bubbles explains that Cory and Trevor gave Lucy some of their drug money and she got a boob job). Ricky decides that his family is important to him, and he wants to get back together with Lucy. Ricky figures that if he can score some hash to sell, he can make enough money to get his shit together and Lucy will take him back. Ricky hotwires Lahey’s car and goes to find hash suppliers Terry and Dennis. Realizing that Ricky is headed for trouble, Bubbles hops on his go-kart and follows him.

As usual, Julian is a step ahead and has already broken into Terry and Dennis’ place with Cory and Trevor, looking for hash. When Ricky arrives and sees the boys stealing hash, he freaks out and races after them. Cyrus hears the commotion and runs out of the house shooting at Bubbles, who narrowly escapes on his go-kart. For once, Cory and Trevor didn’t screw up! But later, Cyrus shows up at the park and he wants his hash back. When the boys deny that they stole it, there’s a shootout. The boys drop their guns when the cops show up, but Cyrus is still armed so he gets arrested. Lahey comes to the rescue again – he vouches for the three boys and insists that he’s sober, but Julian refuses to fall for his “nice guy” routine. Later, when the boys are out of earshot, Lahey explains to Randy that the boys are his shit puppets, performing in his shit play.

Ricky, Julian and Bubbles check out their score – they managed to steal 100 kg of hash from Cyrus. Julian hatches a clever plan to hide the entire stash until they have a buyer.

SEASON 5 - Episode 1 - Give Peace A Chance

2008-07-17T08:28:00.000-07:00

The boys are still in jail, but it’s not as much fun as when they were locked up before. In fact, they’re sick of it. Julian’s been passing the time reading self-help books and Ricky’s been playing “bagmitten,” but the boys can’t wait to get back to the park. The thrill of prison is gone, and Ricky’s especially pissed because the guards won’t let him smoke in jail anymore. The day the boys are set free, they head back to Sunnyvale in style – Julian rents a limo for the occasion. The boys think they’ve got enough money to retire, thanks to the cash that Cory and Trevor will have waiting for them after selling the weed they harvested at the end of last season.

Before they get to the park, Ricky decides he wants some dope but doesn’t have any cash on him. He knows two guys who will give him some weed on credit – Terry and Dennis use their grandmother’s house as a cover to sell pot and hash. But when the boys arrive, they find out that Terry and Dennis’ business partner is none other than Cyrus. When Cyrus shows up, a shootout ensues and the limo driver takes off, scared shitless. The boys end up having to take a taxi back to the park.

When they get home, things are messed up. Julian’s driveway is paved for some reason, and Bubbles’ shed is gone. The boys find his shed on Ray’s lot, chock-full of empty liquor bottles – Ray’s been hitting the liquor pretty hard. It turns out that he’s been making a fortune from video lottery terminals (VLTs), and he’s been spending his extra cash on booze. Ray’s got news for the boys: Randy and Lahey bought Julian’s trailer – Cory and Trevor screwed up again and the trailer was auctioned under the proceeds of crime. Barb tricked the idiots into signing their ownership of the park over to her, and they spent all the drug money while Ricky, Julian and Bubbles were in jail.

Ricky takes the shitmobile to Sara’s to find Cory and Trevor. Trinity tells her dad that they’re at J-Roc’s, listening to a record they “produced” – a project which cost them a shitload of cash... the boys’ cash. Ricky starts a fight, and Bubbles and Julian arrive just as the cops show up. The cops inform Ricky that due to a peace bond, he can’t come within 50 feet of Cory and Trevor. Lahey and Randy arrive and, surprisingly, take the blame – Lahey reasons with the police and gets the boys off the hook. He apologizes, says he’s stopped drinking once and for all. Ricky almost shakes Lahey’s hand – but Julian stops him. Julian doesn’t buy it, not for a second.

SEASON 4 - Episode 8 - Workin' Man

2008-07-16T14:35:00.000-07:00

Beginning immediately where the previous episode left off, the arrow strikes and the propane-soaked trailer explodes. Moments later, Ricky emerges from the trailer unhurt, but a bit shaken up. Lahey is lurking in the background but Julian tells Barb they don’t want to involve the police. Then he tells the Boys they must immediately harvest the last remaining dope field that wasn’t found by the cops. The new plan is for Cory and Trevor to harvest the weed while the guys steal a courier truck to send the dope to the concert in Moncton – they can no longer use the propane truck because it blew up in the explosion. Against Julian’s wishes, Barb calls the cops and informs them that Mr. Lahey is on the loose and dangerous. Meanwhile, Mr. Lahey is strapping dynamite to his chest and talking to himself about killing Ricky.

The Boys head for the field in the courier truck. In the field, though, Cory and Trevor realize that they’ve forgotten to do household chores for Sarah and decide to go back to the park – they’ll finish harvesting the weed later. On the drive back, Cory and Trevor’s car collides with the courier truck. The force of the blow has the two idiots pinned inside and when Julian discovers the dope hasn’t been harvested, he panics. They need that dope ASAP. Julian takes action. He leads the Boys onto the highway where they hijack Rita MacNeil’s tour bus and force its occupants into help them in their scheme.

But Mr. Lahey turns up, strapped with dynamite, and pulls a gun on Ricky. It’s time to put out Ricky’s “shit flames” once and for all. The police quickly arrive and a stand-off begins. Because of Ricky’s checkered past, the SWAT team mistakenly believes they’re trying to disable Ricky, and he’s accidentally shot in the leg. While he screams at the cops, Randy somehow manages to talk Mr. Lahey out of blowing himself up. Mr. Lahey is arrested and in the background we see the courier drive off. But the Boys aren’t off the hook yet: Officer George Green has discovered the fake licence Ricky made for Bubbles. The Boys are arrested for being in violation of several sections of the motor vehicle act.

As usual, another season of Trailer Park Boys ends where it began – behind bars. The guys are all in jail again but it isn’t so bad this time, because first-time offender Bubbles gets to have a kitty with him in his cell. Plus, when the Boys get out, they’ll be property owners. They tracked the courier shipment on the Internet and when they’re released from prison, the Boys are confident they’ll own Sunnyvale Trailer Park. However, Cory and Trevor have a surprise for them. Sick and tired of being mistreated by the Boys and with Sarah and Lucy’s encouragement, Cory and Trevor pull a fast one – they’ve taken the money from the dope scheme and bought the park for themselves!

SEASON 4 - Episode 7 - Propane, Propane

2008-07-16T13:34:00.000-07:00

The Boys are excited. The dope is ready to harvest and J-Roc and DVS have presented them with a plan to sell it at a Snoop Dogg concert in Moncton. All the guys have to do now is harvest their weed, put it in a truck and deliver it. There’s been a minor setback though – Cory and Trevor stole the wrong kind of truck. They accidentally stole a propane truck, so now the Boys have to empty and sell all the propane first before they can transport the marijuana.

While the Boys are busy selling propane, Barb Lahey pays a visit to her ex-husband and his partner. Much to Randy’s chagrin, Barb seems a bit sentimental and talks about the good old days, when she and Jim were married. She even asks Jim if he still has her old wedding ring and tells him she’d like it back. Mr. Lahey assumes that Barb wants them to get back together.

Meanwhile, the Boys want to make sure that there are no complications when they transport the dope. To be sure that the propane truck is legal, they steal some old licence plates from Ray. Julian tells Barb that they’ll soon have the money to buy the park; she’s pleased. The Boys then arrange for Bubbles to take his rig-driving test because they need a driver with a licence to drive the truck.

Mr. Lahey, still thinking Barb wants him back, tells Randy he has a plan: Lahey will get back together with Barb so he can reassert his control of the park and get rid of Ricky. But Mr. Lahey still wants to see Randy on the side. Randy hates the plan.

Bubbles fails his driving test due to his poor eyesight. He’s very upset but Ricky lies and tells Julian that Bubbles passed. Ricky can get Bubbles a fake licence.

Mr. Lahey proposes to Barb and she shuts him down. Not only will she not marry Mr. Lahey, but she plans to marry Ricky! And as if that weren’t bad enough – and it was – she wants Mr. Lahey to step down as supervisor in two weeks. Naturally, Jim does not take this news well. Lahey returns home just in time to see Randy leave him – Randy can’t handle the idea of Lahey going back to Barb. Lahey goes off the deep end.

Barb proposes to a stoned Ricky who seems confused by what’s going on. He doesn’t know how to respond. Later, the brakes on his car don’t work and he almost crashes it. Ricky is convinced someone’s trying to kill him but Julian says he’s just paranoid. Ricky tells the guys about the proposal and they seem dubious. But Sarah announces to Julian and Bubbles that she heard about Barb’s proposal so now she’s decided to marry Cory and Trevor. If that wasn’t weird enough, Mr. Lahey arrives, totally insane, singing and urinating himself, demanding propane. When he leaves, Julian and Bubbles hear a report on the radio that all but one of their dope fields have been discovered by the police.

Meanwhile, Ricky is making supper at Barb’s but the deep fryer is acting up and he’s almost electrocuted. Just then Barb smells propane and goes outside to investigate. Julian and Bubbles run up looking for Ricky just as a flaming arrow flies through the air and into the trailer. Then there’s a huge explosion and the trailer blows up! To be continued…

SEASON 4 - Episode 6 - If You Love Something, Set It Free

2008-07-16T12:20:00.000-07:00

Something or someone has been stealing - or possibly eating - weed from the Boys' dope fields. The Boys stake out the field at night to get to the bottom of the problem. They send Cory and Trevor deep into the field, armed with potato guns, on a reconnaissance mission. Moments later, Cory and Trevor emerge screaming, clothes torn and skin scratched, scared to death of whatever it was that just attacked them (Bubbles's theory is that it was a Sasquatch). The guys quickly bandage Cory and Trevor's wounds with empty chip bags and duct tape, and return to the trailer park to plot strategy. When they arrive home, Sara, who is now regularly dating Cory and Trevor as one entity, freaks out about their injuries and the fact that the Boys have exploited them yet again. Since Sara won't let Cory and Trevor leave to do any further investigating, the guys decide to return to the fields themselves.

The following morning, Mr. Lahey is busy with his plans to beautify the park. Randy is preparing to host a barbecue that evening at which time he will cook cheeseburgers with a "special ingredient" for Mr. Lahey. The Boys go back to the field and find piles of weed plants that have been chewed up and spit out on the ground. They follow the trail to find... a mountain lion! Ricky and Julian are scared but Bubbles quickly befriends the beast - it's just a big kitty, after all - and deduces that the animal has become addicted to marijuana.

SEASON 4 - Episode 5 - Conky

2008-07-16T11:28:00.000-07:00

Mr. James Lahey is once again the Sunnyvale Trailer Park Supervisor and is savouring every moment. He’s already holding a bake sale to raise money for a fund that he can use at his discretion for the betterment of Sunnyvale. Meanwhile, the Boys find Bubbles trying to extract an infected tooth by tying one end of a string to his tooth, and the other end to the shed door. This strategy doesn’t remove the tooth, but it does manage to give Ricky a broken and bloodied nose in the process. Julian stops the bleeding with an old glue rag, which sticks to Ricky’s nose.

Julian insists that Bubbles be taken to the hospital so that a doctor can look at his tooth. At first Bubbles refuses – he hates hospitals – but then agrees to go if someone/thing called “Conky” can go with him. Ricky and Julian look at each other: this isn’t good. The Boys explain that Conky is the name of a ventriloquist doll Bubbles made in grade six. They also explain that when Bubbles operated the doll, something strange happened to him – he seemed to develop a mean alter ego who was especially fond of insulting Ricky. To protect Bubbles, Ricky and Julian threw the doll in the pond years ago.

When Bubbles insists, the guys go to the pond and find Conky. The effect the doll has on Bubbles is spooky. Almost immediately, Conky starts insulting Ricky. Ricky is soon at odds with the dummy. The guys go to the hospital with Conky offending Ricky the entire time. As soon as the Boys enter the hospital, their problems get worse. Bubbles doesn’t have a health card, Ricky is swearing and beginning to hallucinate from the fumes of the glue rag (still stuck to his nose) and Conky is egging him on. Not surprisingly, they are kicked out of the hospital.

Meanwhile, the Boys are still worried about Bubbles’ tooth. Suddenly, they see the answer to their prayers: a sign for the newly re-opened Sam Losco Veterinary Clinic. Granted, Sam is a greasy bastard, but he is a trained medical professional. Ricky and Julian go inside to check things out first, while Bubbles waits in the car. While they’re gone, Conky stirs up trouble and Bubbles ends up fighting with Randy and Mr. Lahey. Sam panics and shoots Lahey and Randy with a tranquilizer gun. Julian manages to calm everyone down, but not before the cops have been called. Sam agrees to operate on Bubbles in exchange for Julian taking care of the cops, who will be bad for business. By this point, though, Conky has almost taken over Bubbles’ personality. Before things can get even crazier, Julian shoots Conky. The spell is broken and Bubbles has his tooth removed. Ricky convinces the cops that Lahey and Randy wrecked the place and passed out, drunk. The cops buy it.

SEASON 4 - Episode 4 - The Green Bastard

2008-07-16T10:27:00.000-07:00

Today is Lahey’s day. Despite the fact that he is no longer the Sunnyvale Trailer Park Supervisor, it seems that Jim Lahey has won the prestigious International Trailer Park Supervisor of the Year Award and they’re presenting him with the award today. Lahey plans to lie about his role, convinced that the award is a good thing for the park because it will generate good publicity and increased property value.

Meanwhile, Ricky explains that he’s holding a special family fun day to help raise money to buy the park – Barb needs a deposit soon. There are bulldozer rides for the kids and games for everyone: people can even pay to shoot paintball guns at Cory and Trevor. Ricky and Julian show Bubbles a wrestling ring they’ve set up for him as part of the celebration. Bubbles is thrilled and gets out his old wrestling costume – he’s “The Green Bastard” from “parts unknown.”

The union of supervisors shows up and Jim gives them a tour of the park. An argument breaks out when Ricky introduces himself as the Trailer Park Supervisor, but no one believes him. Jim tries to assert his power in front of the union by trying to shut down the wrestling area. Ricky won’t relent, though, and challenges Jim to a wrestling match. Mr. Lahey agrees but under two conditions: 1) it must be a tag team match with Mr. Lahey and Randy on one team and Ricky and Bubbles on the other and 2) the winner gets the job of Trailer Park Supervisor. Confident of victory, Ricky agrees. But Mr. Lahey and Randy manage to cheat and win the match. Mr. Lahey is presented with the Trailer Park Supervisor of the Year Award and resumes control of the park.

Ricky can’t take it anymore – it’s all so unfair – so he slams into the union members’ cars with the bulldozer. The union people leave outraged and Barb is irate. Julian tells Ricky not to worry: with Ricky relieved of his supervisor duties, they’ll now have more time to focus on growing their dope.

SEASON 4 - Episode 3 - Rub 'N Tiz'zug

2008-07-16T09:48:00.000-07:00

Julian is trying to get some sleep in his empty trailer (the furniture was moved out long ago to make room for dope plants) and has to sleep on the floor and cover himself with an old bear rug. Meanwhile, both Ricky and Bubbles are watching a documentary about Sasquatches and are getting pretty freaked out. When Julian, still wrapped in the bear rug, tries to get into Bubbles’ shed to get some shut-eye, both Ricky and Bubbles start attacking him with baseball bats. During the fight, Julian manages to grab a bat from them and hits them back. Eventually, the guys realize what’s going on – they’ve been beating the crap out of each other.

The next day all three Boys are quite sore, but Julian decides it’s time to steal some furniture to furnish his trailer. So the Boys do just that – easily talking a government office out of all its furnishings. Back in Sunnyvale, Julian gets the idea to open a massage parlour in the park to make some extra cash. The Boys check into a motel under the name Jim Lahey and have Cory and Trevor steal all kinds of furniture for their business.

Returning home once more, they ask J-Roc to operate the establishment and in no time, the business is up and running. Mr. Lahey knows that something’s up, but hasn’t yet figured out what’s going on.

Meanwhile, business is booming and the guys need additional women to work in the parlour. They ask J-Roc to hook them up – he says he knows someone who can provide them with girls. J-Roc’s new manager, DVS, says that this is a good opportunity for J-Roc to promote his new album by presenting a tougher image of himself. DVS rather mysteriously tells J-Roc that it’s time to make some phone calls.

The new workers arrive and just when everything seems to be running smoothly, an unexpected visitor shows up – Cyrus. Turns out he “represents” the women and wants money from the Boys immediately. When they refuse, he demands that they fight him. Of course this is impossible: the Boys are too injured from having beaten each other up earlier. Cyrus quickly takes everyone hostage. There is hope: Randy emerges against Mr. Lahey’s wishes, and says he will fight Cyrus. Surprisingly, Randy kicks Cyrus’ ass and order is restored in the park. When the police show up because of the commotion, J-Roc takes the fall for the illegal massage parlour and for beating up Cyrus. He figures that time in jail will result in great publicity, improved street cred and, ultimately, increased record sales. The Boys have gotten away with yet another scheme.

SEASON 4 - Episode 2 - Man's Gotta Eat

2008-07-16T09:07:00.000-07:00

Julian and Bubbles get out of the drunk tank and come home to Sunnyvale Trailer Park only to discover that Ricky has run up thousands of dollars of debt in Julian’s name. In fact, he has driven Sunnyvale into such debt that Barb Lahey has to sell the park. Despite this, it appears that Barb and Ricky may be involved in something more than a platonic employer/employee relationship. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Julian has no place to live since Ricky emptied his trailer of its furnishings and covered it in tin foil for the dope operation Julian still doesn’t know about. Julian has had enough and decides to leave Sunnyvale forever – but not without a big barrel of “swish” (disgusting homemade liquor) in the trunk of his car.

Meanwhile, Randy has grown tired of being too broke to afford a “store-bought cheeseburger” and much to Lahey’s chagrin, takes matters into his own hands by hitting the streets as a male prostitute.

Both Julian and Randy end up in an alley behind a greasy strip mall: It’s Julian’s new home and Randy’s new place of business. To make matters worse, Julian’s ex-girlfriend, Officer Erica Miller, is working undercover as a prostitute and discovers Julian at his lowest point – drunk on swish and “pissing on a dumpster behind the King of Donair.” Meanwhile, we learn that Sarah is dating both Cory and Trevor at the same time.

Ricky and Bubbles find Julian and are able to sober him up by force-feeding him rum (as an antidote to the swish). Julian, Randy, Bubbles and Ricky return to the park where Mr. Lahey – out hunting for food with a bow and arrow – sees Randy in his old “street” clothes and, shocked, accidentally shoots Ricky in the shoulder with an arrow. Chaos ensues and Julian demands that Ricky tell him what’s going on.

Ricky and Bubbles take Julian to a massive field of dope they have been growing. Ricky apologises to Julian for not telling him sooner, but surprisingly, Julian is elated. The field will make them rich. With the money they’ll make from selling the plants, Julian devises a plan to buy Sunnyvale and take control of the park, once and for all.

SEASON 4 - Episode 1 - Never Cry Shitwolf

2008-07-16T08:10:00.000-07:00

After Ricky’s botched bank machine robbery in the last episode of season three, Julian, Mr. Lahey and Randy end up where Ricky should have been – in prison.

This first episode begins with the trio’s release from jail – one week early. Ricky, the only person in the park with previous supervisory experience, has been hired by Barb Lahey as the new Sunnyvale Trailer Park Supervisor. With Bubbles as his trusted assistant, Ricky is given control of the park and has built a huge wall on the property where he’s carrying out some sort of secret operation.

When Ricky and Bubbles find out Julian is coming home early, they panic. With the help of Cory, Trevor and Ray, they start moving dope plants out of three trailers they’ve stationed in the fenced-off area (one of which is Julian’s home). Ricky orders Bubbles to distract Julian by drinking with him – whatever happens, Julian has to be kept away from his trailer until all traces of the marijuana operation have been removed. This plan succeeds until Bubbles gets far too drunk, becomes belligerent and, as he usually does when he’s drunk, sings rude songs to anyone who will listen.

Meanwhile, Mr. Lahey and Randy return to the park only to discover that Ricky is living in Lahey’s old supervisor trailer along with Lucy, Trinity and Sarah. Ricky has Lahey’s job and now, he has his home. In a cruel reversal of fortune, Randy and Lahey are forced to live in their car (like Ricky did).

Finally, Julian has had enough of Bubbles’ drinking and demands answers from Ricky. Lahey and Randy have called in the police to investigate what’s going on behind the wall. As usual, Ricky manages to side-step the cops – they find no evidence of his secret operation – and Lahey is humiliated by Officer George Green for wasting his time once again. The only person who gets in trouble is Bubbles, who has to spend the night in the drunk-tank. Julian goes along and asks him if Ricky’s growing dope again. Not wanting to rat on a friend but dying to tell Julian, he agrees to blink an answer. One blink for no, two for yes. Bubbles blinks twice.

SEASON 3 - Episode 8 - A Shit Leopard Can't Change Its Spots

2008-07-15T10:21:00.000-07:00

Realizing he’s always in jail at Christmas, Ricky decides to celebrate Christmas in July with his daughter Trinity, Julian and Bubbles. Things are going fairly well until Mr. Lahey and Randy arrive with Officer Erica Miller with an eviction order for Ricky. To make matters worse, Ricky is odd man out when Julian finds out that he only has seven tickets for the cruise, not the eight he was expecting. Normally, seven tickets would suffice: one for Julian, Ricky, Bubbles, Cory, Trevor, Lucy and Sarah. But Julian invited Erica. This causes a huge rift between Ricky and Julian, despite Julian’s promise to get another ticket. Problem is, an extra one is going to cost several thousand dollars and he only has until the end of the day.

Julian immediately puts Cory and Trevor to work on fund-raising. They manage to collect $1,800 in quarters from Laundromat vending machines, but they’re still short. Meanwhile, Ricky has been evicted from the park and has no place to live. Despondent, he figures his only recourse is to go back to jail. But with the way his luck has been going, he can’t even get arrested, no matter how hard he tries. Arriving back at the park, with a stolen ATM in tow, he is stopped at the gate by Mr. Lahey and Randy. A confrontation ensues. Julian arrives in the middle of it. There’s an explosion. The “dye” is cast. In the end, some go on the cruise. Some go to jail. And others stay at home to run the ship.

SEASON 3 - Episode 7 - The Delusions Of Officer Jim Lahey

2008-07-15T08:43:00.000-07:00

The Boys are playing a game of road hockey in front of Mr. Lahey’s trailer. It’s a difficult day for Mr. Lahey, as it’s the anniversary of his dismissal from the police force. Randy is inside baking Mr. Lahey’s favourite treats. The noise from the game outside is getting Mr. Lahey’s back up. When Trevor pushes Ricky, Ricky decides he is entitled to a penalty shot. The shot sails over the net and goes through the window of Mr. Lahey’s trailer.

This is too much for Mr. Lahey to bear. He asks Randy to drive him to the liquor store. While there, Mr. Lahey inadvertently thwarts a robbery. The adulation and gratitude he receives from the store manager lifts Mr. Lahey out of his funk. Revitalized, Mr. Lahey brings out his old police officer’s uniform and other accoutrements. Back in the saddle again, he is determined the rid the park of Julian and Ricky forever. It is only thanks to Bubbles and the interventions of dedicated Officer Erica Miller, still a presence in Julian’s life, that the Boys escape alive from Mr. Lahey’s vendetta.

SEASON 3 - Episode 6 - Where In The F uck Is Randy's Barbecue?

2008-07-15T07:29:00.000-07:00

As part of his ongoing strategy to commit several small crimes rather than try for the big score, Julian comes up with the plan to remarket barbeques. Ricky, always ready to take Julian’s plans one step farther, enlists the support of his daughter Trinity and her friends from the Junior Achievers’ Program at school. As Trinity explains to her father, kids her age are immune from prosecution thanks to the “Youth Justice Act.” Mr. Lahey and an irate Randy arrive at Ricky’s lot accusing Ricky of stealing Randy’s barbeque. The barbeque in question was a gift and has great sentimental value. A fight ensues between Ricky and Randy.

Later, Ricky gathers up the kids and hits the neighbourhood to steal barbeques. He more than meets his match when a senior citizen catches Ricky red-handed. They struggle and Ricky is maced in the eyes. Blinded, he manages to drive the car and the kids to Trinity’s school. There, he meets the mother of one of the kids who turns out to be a cop, Officer Erica Miller. Ricky leaves in a hurry.

Back at the park, Mr. Lahey calls in the cops to help investigate the barbeque cartel. And who should arrive on the scene but Officer Erica Miller. Her investigation leads her to Ricky’s lot but not before Ricky, Bubbles, Cory and Trevor hide the stolen goods in the unlikeliest of places – to no avail, however. Before Erica hauls them all off to jail, Julian manages to convince her to give them all another chance by being honest with her about the barbeque scheme. Later, Julian does the right thing by returning Randy’s barbeque. The good deed is short-lived, however, when things come crashing down around Mr. Lahey. But things work out in the end: Randy gets his barbeque back, secrets are revealed, and Erica accepts Julian’s invitation to come inside for a coffee.

SEASON 3 - Episode 5 - Closer To The Heart

2008-07-15T06:45:00.000-07:00

Bubbles is beside himself with excitement when he hears that the legendary Canadian rock band RUSH will be playing a concert in town. RUSH is Bubbles’s favourite rock band, and Alex Lifeson is his favourite guitar player. He asks Ricky to hold his spot in the box office line-up while Bubbles goes to the vet with his sick cat. Julian sees the concert as a great opportunity to make some cash selling dope, with the proceeds going toward paying for the cruise (“Let’s set jail; we’re not going to jail.”)

Meanwhile, back at the park, Mr. Lahey and Randy’s plans to go camping are thwarted when Trailer Park owner Barbara Lahey finds out that the garbage hasn’t been properly sorted for recycling. Mr. Lahey blames Ricky, vows revenge and shows up at the box office. Using Randy to divert Ricky’s attention, Mr. Lahey sneaks into the line-up and buys up all of the remaining RUSH tickets. When Bubbles arrives from the vet, he is devastated to learn he has no ticket to the concert. But, thanks to a local radio station promotion, he has one more shot at it. The first caller to answer the question: “What is Alex Lifeson’s real last name?” will win the right to be Alex’s guitar tech. Bubbles knows the answer; he knows everything about RUSH. Unfortunately, he blurts it out in front of Lahey and Randy, who are the first to call in. Randy wins the contest to be Alex’s guitar tech. Bubbles is completely distraught.

But Ricky comes up with his own plan to make amends. He goes to the hotel where Alex is staying, kidnaps him and drives him back to the park. Julian can’t believe it – even for Ricky, this defies the bounds of stupidity. He talks Alex into not pressing charges if Julian gets him back to his hotel unharmed. Julian hears that Cory and Trevor have a found a way into the concert via the sewers. Inside, Randy and Mr. Lahey catch the Boys and threaten to have them forcibly removed. But Julian convinces Alex that Bubbles should be Alex’s guitar tech, not Randy. Hearing Bubbles’s impassioned plea, Alex agrees. In a scene taped during the actual RUSH concert at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre, Bubbles and Alex Lifeson unite on stage in front of 15,000 screaming fans. After the concert, Alex drives the Boys back to the park, where Alex and Bubbles play an acoustic version of the band’s classic anthem, Closer To The Heart.

SEASON 3 - Episode 4 - Who's The Microphone Assasin?

2008-07-15T00:34:00.000-07:00

J-ROC shoots a music video in the park to help promote his new CD, “J-ROC And Friendz.” The “Friendz” include such artists as Dr Dre, NWA and Moncton recording artist Detroit Velvet Smooth. Needless to say, none of these artists has consented to this or even knows about it. When Julian sees how well J-ROC’s CD is selling at the park’s flea market, he enlists the help of Bubbles and Ricky to hold a concert in the park with J-ROC as the headline act. They go to J-ROC’s trailer to talk to him about the idea. Opening the door to his bedroom, they catch him doing more than just jacking tunes. J-ROC worries that this “indiscretion” will cost him his career, but Julian convinces him otherwise and the Concert in the Park is a go.

When Mr. Lahey and Randy find out about the unauthorized concert, they call Detroit Velvet Smooth and tell him that J-ROC is pirating his tunes. DVS arrives at the park demanding royalties. When he confronts J-ROC, J-ROC tells his “brother” to chill. DVS tears a strip off J-ROC for calling him a “brother.” J-ROC is devastated. He goes into his bedroom, drops his J-ROC persona and turns into Jamie – just another white kid from a trailer park. His mother tries to take some of the sting out of the hurt by telling him a bit about her past. The Boys try to explain J-ROC to DVS by telling DVS about J-ROC’s embarrassing moment. DVS has a change of heart. He goes to J-ROC and the two MCs work it out. They close with a duet in the park, a J-ROC joint called, “It Could Happen To You ’Cause It Happened To Me.”

SEASON 3 - Episode 3 - If I Can't Smoke And Swear, I'm F ucked

2008-07-14T14:52:00.000-07:00

Having lost all his money on the vodka operation, Julian is flat broke. Needing cash, but not wanting to go back to jail, Julian realizes he has to come up with a new plan. Finally, it hits him. No more big crimes – they attract too much attention. Instead, he’ll focus on several small crimes – crimes involving theft under $1,000. That way, if the Boys get busted, at worst, they’ll do community service. He enlists the support of his friends in the park. They are to become his employees. In exchange, he’ll pay them from the proceeds of the crimes. As an incentive, Julian will take them all on an ocean cruise at the end. His new slogan is: “Let’s set jail; we’re not going to jail.”

The first enterprise is an illegal gas station in the park. Bubbles is the business manager, Ricky is the operations manager. Cory and Trevor are in charge of acquisitions, a.k.a. siphoning gas. To conceal their scheme from Mr. Lahey and Randy, Julian enlists the support of Sarah and Lucy who have recently gone into business by opening a Hair Salon in the park. They assist the Boys by selling coupons at their Salon – coupons that are redeemable for stolen gas. When Mr. Lahey and Randy get wind of the gas-siphoning scheme, they set up an elaborate video surveillance. Lucy and Sarah warn Julian. When Mr. Lahey and Randy arrive in their car with several concealed video cameras, Julian, Ricky, Bubbles and J-ROC lay the blame at the feet of Cory and Trevor who by this time have become quite disoriented and sick from gas poisoning.

Ricky, too, is feeling quite ill from the effects of smoking while wearing a nicotine patch. Fainting, his lit cigarette falls in a puddle of gasoline causing a customer’s car to explode. The Boys are arrested and have to appear in court. Ricky fires their legal aid lawyer and decides to represent them all himself. Ricky and the prosecutor get into a shouting match. The judge admonishes Ricky for his bad language and warns him to stop or else. Ricky, in an impassioned defense, argues that he has a constitutional right under the People’s Choices and Voices Act to express himself and if that means smoking and swearing, so be it. The judge concurs. Ricky deconstructs Lahey’s video evidence and puts the blame squarely on Cory and Trevor who, sitting in the court hooked up to life-saving breathing apparatuses for gas poisoning, are in no position to argue.

SEASON 3 - Episode 2 - Temporary Relief Assistant Trailer Park Supervisor

2008-07-14T11:48:00.000-07:00

Ricky is broke again and back living in his car. Julian refuses to loan him any money to buy weed. Bubbles can’t loan Ricky anything either as all his money is tied up with Julian’s long-term investments.

Meanwhile, when one of Bubbles’s cats, Sgt Meowenstein, falls down an uncovered well, the trailer park’s irate owner Barbara Lahey forces Mr. Lahey, her ex-husband, to temporarily suspend Randy and find a replacement. Five applicants try out for the job of Temporary Relief Assistant Trailer Park Supervisor: Ricky, Bubbles, Jacob, Cory and Trevor. To get the job, each applicant must take a test involving both a “hands on” and a written component. To everyone’s amazement and Mr. Lahey’s chagrin, Ricky wins.

Julian decides to invest his remaining money in a vodka bootleg operation started up by J-ROC. Word about Julian’s scheme reaches Mr. Lahey who sets up a sting operation with Ricky. While staking out Julian from the bushes, Ricky is exposed to poison ivy, causing his entire chest to break out in hives. Lahey tells Ricky to take his shirt off to counteract the effects of the ivy. Seeing a shirtless Ricky with Mr. Lahey is too much for Randy to bear. He confronts Mr. Lahey, telling him that Ricky is in on the vodka operation with Julian. Lahey calls in the cops to bust Julian. When they arrive at Julian’s trailer, they find no vodka – just a new swimming pool. Randy gets into a fight with Ricky. Grappling, they fall into the pool, causing all of the contents to spill out. Finding nothing, the cops leave empty-handed. Although they escaped the law once again, Julian’s entire investment was liquidated. Literally. Now, both he and Ricky are back where they started. Broke. Time for new thinking.

SEASON 3 - Episode 1 - The Kiss Of Freedom

2008-07-14T10:59:00.000-07:00

After their release from prison, Ricky and Julian are not only free men, they’re rich, thanks to their huge dope sale to the prison guards at the end of last season. However, Julian’s plan to invest his and Ricky’s money comes to a screeching halt at the bank when Ricky decides he wants no part of Julian’s long-term investment strategy. Ricky’s dreams are more short-term: buy some dope, some rum and a couple of pepperoni sticks to take back to the park for him and the old man, Ray. A loud argument ensues inside the bank, and eventually the three are thrown out by a couple of burly guards. Ricky and Julian part company. Bubbles, as usual, is caught in the middle.

Back at the park, Julian surprises Bubbles with a brand new home, atoning for burning down Bubbles’s shed last season. Not to be outdone, Ricky buys Bubbles a vehicle to get around the park. Ricky then orders a new doublewide trailer from Mr. Lahey and Randy. He demands it be delivered by sundown. But before agreeing to anything, Mr. Lahey wants Ricky to pay a large deposit. Ricky says he’ll have it for him by the end of the day. If he doesn’t, Ricky agrees to settle a bet.

Later, when an argument ensues between Ricky and Julian over Julian’s new business enterprise involving Cory and Trevor, shots are fired damaging Julian’s new car. Julian demands Ricky pay for the damage. “No problem,” says Ricky, and throws down a few thousand dollars at Julian’s feet. Hearing of Ricky’s wealth, Lucy and Sarah hire a lawyer to sue Ricky for child support payments. Ricky insists he’s a good father and, as proof, has even ordered an expensive set of encyclopaedias for his daughter Trinity. The encyclopaedias and the doublewide trailer arrive at the park at the same time. Unfortunately, by now, Ricky has spent most of his money, and realizes that he doesn’t have enough left to pay for both the trailer and the books for his daughter. What should he do? If he buys the books, he has to humiliate himself by settling the bet he made with Lahey. If he buys the trailer, he won’t be able to buy the books for Trinity’s education so she won’t end up “stupid like him.” Ricky’s got a big decision to make…

SEASON 2 - Episode 7 - The Bare Pimp Project

2008-07-10T17:50:00.000-07:00

It's Freedom 35 day – the day when Julian will sell all the dope to the prison guards. It's also a big day for Ricky. Not only will he be rich, he'll also have his grade ten, assuming he passes his exam. Adding to Ricky's stress, Cyrus will also be taking the exam.

Sam Losco announces his plans to marry trailer park owner Barb Lahey. Julian realizes he must prevent this at all costs. He decides to frame Sam by getting J-ROC to entice Sam into starring in one of J-ROC's famous homemade porn films. Called The Blair Pimp Project, it involves witches, lumberjacks and stick pimps. Sam gladly obliges.

Meanwhile, on his way to sell the dope, Julian discovers Treena stowed away in his car. Julian tells her to wait in the car while he goes into the woods.

Later, after the exam, Lucy tells Ricky that Cyrus is out to kill him. She also asks Ricky to take her back. Ricky demurs. At the same time, Lahey and Randy are moving in on Julian. It all comes to a head in the middle of the park as Ricky and Julian prepare to escape with the Airstream trailer full of dope. There's a shootout. The Boys make a run for it but are pursued into the countryside by a motorcade of police vehicles and helicopter. Finally the Boys are captured. But to Lahey’s dismay, the cops find nothing on the boys. Julian had done the deal earlier in the day. The chase was just a ruse. After a few months in jail on driving charges, the Boys will be back in the park. Free. And rich.

2008-07-10T15:48:00.000-07:00

After constant power interruptions at the same time every night, Lahey and Randy suspect that Ricky and Julian are up to something.

Lahey's suspicions turn to anger when he mistakenly believes that Ricky and Julian forced his daughter Treena to sell her bike and buy Ricky a shirt and some pepperoni. He devises a plan to infiltrate the Boys' operation. He stages a fight with Randy in front of the Boys. Lahey calls Randy a "fat, disobedient bastard" and slaps him in the face. He then tells the Boys that the cops are on their way to bust the dope operation. Julian foils Lahey by transferring all the dope out of the Airstream trailer and into Ray's.

Randy shows up at Julian's wearing a shirt. He's had it with Lahey and wants to join the boys. But the shirt is not enough to convince Julian. Randy has to pass a test – he has to piss in Lahey's car – a test that Randy passes with flying colours.

Having successfully infiltrated the operation, Randy and Lahey set up the sting. Unfortunately for Randy, Julian discovers the hidden walkie-talkie under Randy's shirt, but not before Lahey alerts the cops. But with Treena’s help, Julian and Ricky manage to turn the tables on Lahey and the cops. Randy reasserts his vow to never wear a shirt again.

He thinks Julian is revealing too much about the dope operation to Tanya. Bubbles has his own suspicions about Hampton and Tanya and decides to keep the Bible sellers under very close surveillance.

His vigilance pays off. He discovers that Hampton and Tanya are not the people they say they are. Hampton is actually a known criminal from Moncton who runs a greasy strip bar called “The Slick Pimp.” And Tanya is neither Christian nor diabetic – she's a stripper. The Bible selling was a ruse to gain Julian's trust and steal the dope.

Led by Bubbles, Cory, Trevor, Ricky and Julian head to Hampton’s bar. After a shootout, Hampton and Tanya are foiled. Lahey and Randy arrive just in time to assist the police arrest the con artists. In the end, love is lost, but the dope is saved.

2008-07-10T11:01:00.000-07:00

Ricky's entire dope operation is threatened by an infestation of "black things" that covers all but six of his plants.

Treena suggests that horticulture books might provide some answers. So he and Julian go to the library to do some research. Treena also lets it slip that Ricky is going back to school to get his grade ten. Julian is opposed to that idea because it will distract Ricky from his dope-growing responsibilities necessary for Freedom 35. But the horticulture books were a good idea – the Boys discover that the "black things" on the plants are spider mites and the only way to get rid of them is with ladybugs.

Meanwhile, Ricky and Julian take the six healthy plants and quarantine them in Bubbles' shed. Cory and Trevor re-wire the shed for the hydroponic heat lights. Ricky supervises and corrects their work. Meanwhile Bubbles is trying to figure out why all of his cats are sick. He eventually traces the problem to Sam Losco's homemade hotdogs.

While Bubbles is off confronting Losco, catastrophe strikes. Ricky's faulty wiring causes Bubbles' shed to burn down. Bubbles loses everything, including his 1965 Electro-Bubblemaker, the only thing his parents ever gave him. J-ROC lets Bubbles move into an old van. All is not lost. At least Ricky's plants survive, thanks to the ladybugs.

2008-07-10T09:51:00.000-07:00

Julian’s prison guard contacts tell him that they need much more dope than they thought. Ricky freaks. The only way he can meet the demand is to buy more dope-growing equipment – but that's expensive.

Julian decides to open a Bar and Casino in the trailer park. Profits from illegal gambling and liquor sales will provide more than enough cash to purchase all the hydroponics gear Ricky needs. Since J-ROC's mom is away in Moncton for the weekend, his place will serve as the bar with J-ROC himself as MC. Julian puts Cory and Trevor in charge of stealing stereo and lighting equipment for the bar. After Cory and Trevor botch the first attempt to break into a warehouse, Julian sends them off again with Ricky in charge. Despite setting off alarms, being chased by a Doberman and Ricky shooting himself in the foot, they eventually manage to pull off the heist.

Later, Ricky befriends Lahey's daughter, Treena who is visiting for the summer. Lahey and Randy sense that the Boys are up to something.

That night, the bar opens. Julian is the first to notice that the place is packed almost entirely with attractive, well-dressed young men. It turns out that Cory and Trevor, who were in charge of publicity, handed out flyers to only one bar: “The Empty Closet.” In his first official act as Weekend Trailer Park Supervisor, Randy shuts down the bar but not before Julian rakes in loads of money.

In the end, Cory and Trevor go off together with a couple of beauties they met at the bar.

SEASON 2 - Episode 2 - Jim Lahey is a Drunk Bastard

2008-07-10T08:39:00.000-07:00

Still reeling (and drunk) from losing Randy to Lucy, trailer park supervisor Jim Lahey is confronted by an angry mob of park residents who are fed up with burning cars, uncollected trash and bottle-throwing kids roaming the park. They demand he take action to clean up the park or lose his job. The news gets back to trailer park owner Barb Lahey who tells Lahey that an election will be held for a new trailer park supervisor.

Running on the slogan, "Clean Up Crime In the Park", the leading candidate is Sam Losco. Sam moved to the park after losing his veterinary license for stitching up bullet wounds Ricky suffered at the hands of his eight-year-old daughter and an angry farmer – both on the same day. Sam's pissed and he wants revenge.

Ricky thinks it's great that they may finally get rid of Lahey. But Julian realizes that it's better to dance with the devil you know and that losing Lahey as trailer park supervisor would be bad for Freedom 35 – Julian's plan to make enough money to allow them to retire at 35 and get out of crime forever. Julian tells Trevor and Cory to sober Lahey up and to get him ready for the televised election speeches later that night. Then, he gets Ricky, Bubbles and J-ROC to distract Losco while Julian spikes Losco's hot dogs with magic mushrooms.

In the end, Lahey's impassioned speech about love and redemption wins out over Losco's drug-induced incoherent ramblings about lawnmowers and Ricky's ass. Randy sees the good in Lahey once again and dumps Lucy. As a result, Lahey gives Randy his old job back and promotes him to Weekend Trailer Park Supervisor.

First, trailer park supervisor Jim Lahey has let both his life and the park slide into chaos since his loving assistant, Randy, left his side. Julian is concerned about having to deal with a new park supervisor if Lahey loses his job. As if that’s not bad enough, Sarah and Ricky's Dad, Ray, break the news to Ricky that Randy is now living with Lucy.

Ricky then decides the only way he can win Lucy back is to get a regular job as a mall security guard, much to Julian's chagrin. With the help of J-ROC, Cory and Trevor, Julian manages to get Ricky fired and his career as a mall security guard is over as quickly as it started. With that out of the way, Ricky is able to concentrate all of his efforts on growing dope, and nobody grows dope like Ricky.
